Description

iOS 8.4. Front camera is not working. Showing black. ipod touch has only front camera, so I am calling switchCamera in this manner

[self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:^{

    //toggle to selfie mode (i.e. front camera)
    [cameraContainer.cameraViewController.cameraView.delegate switchCamera];
}];

switchCamera calls cameraManager's toggle cameraToggle which has a check hasMultipleCameras. Since ipod touch has only one camera, the toggle does not take any effect and the user is stuck with default back camera which does not exist.

Would it be possible to add configuration on which camera should defaulted? I.e. CameraMode = Front or Back?

Thank you.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the camera manager's initialization to see how default camera is set, then add a property for default camera mode and modify the toggle logic to respect it.
